I used to adore this show. I'd watch it every night with my older brother, mom and dad during dinner, and we'd eat pizza and garlic knots, and it was amazing. But I saw how much things changed drastically. I, personally, have not watched the show in about a year. I'm not sure about my parents. But, the thing is, I've seen how much people have started to dislike this show and what it has brought. I can't really take this by my own word, but I've seen that all of these people are very rude and misunderstanding now, and they're not being very polite to these new entrepreneurs. At first, I thought that these people who were rating the show were lying. But, I've seen many ratings that have the same wording and the same reasons why they don't like it anymore. I'm sincerely disappointed in this show now, but I'll try to write a more valid review once I get back into watching this show. But, I don't ever think that day will come, if I'm being honest.

This is the only show that I actually make plans to watch every week. It is so well done - bringing in the small business owners and inventors and seeing how a deal, if any, turns out. From the investors critique of the pitches, to the offers and counter-offers, to the weekly updates from past deals, this show is not only entertaining but also a great way to learn how (or how not) to present an idea and calculate an idea's value in the real world. LOVE IT!!!
